Christopher Cross & Michael McDonald - Ride Like The Wind (Live 1998) (Promo Only)

Good Monday Morning my RP Brothers and Sisters!!!

This morning, I awoke to two things... The first was that COL Mikel J. Burroughs notified all of RP that I had reached my goal of 6-Million IPs and another coveted Eagle Award... The second thing was his Motivational Quotes of the Day with the theme of the Winds of Therapy! Toward that objective, I posted one song about The Four Winds by singer/artist Neil Young... and it got me thinking... That the WIND is an amazing part of everyday life...around the world... It is therapeutic in many ways and I have gravitated toward it from just a wispy breeze on a warm summer's day to the winds of a raging hurricane...

I then looked for songs about the wind and came across one by Christopher Cross and Michael McDOnald titled "Ride Like The Wind", which is an awesome song in my book... So this is my first song of today's Music Interlude!

Enjoy!

LYRICS:

"Ride Like The Wind"

It is the night
My body's weak
I'm on the run
No time to sleep
I've got to ride
Ride like the wind
To be free again

And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind

I was born the son of a lawless man
Always spoke my mind with a gun in my hand
Lived nine lives
Gunned down ten
Gonna ride like the wind

And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind

Accused and tried and told to hang
I was nowhere in sight when the church bells rang
Never was the kind to do as I was told
Gonna ride like the wind before I get old

It is the night
My body's weak
I'm on the run
No time to sleep
I've got to ride
Ride like the wind
To be free again

And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind
